Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the points (5,4) and (-1,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello : let  A(5,4)    B(-1,6)

the slope is :   (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)

(6-4)/(-1-5)  = 1/-3 = -1/3

an equation is : y=ax+b     a is a slope

y = (-1/3)x +b

the line through point  (5,4) :  4 = (-1/3)(5)+b    

b = 17/3  

the equation is : y =(-1/3)x+17/3    

2 5/8 is the final answer! : )
